{

            "alias": "pos_rate",

Distribution#

Return the distribution of a column with a specified number of bins.

You may specify one of either num_bins or bin_thresholds.

For num_bins,, if there is not enough data, fewer than the specified number of bins will be returned.

For bin_thresholds, there will be a bucket below your lowest bin and a bucket above your highest bin, i.e. n+1 buckets when supplied n thresholds.

Query Request with num_bins:

{
    "select": [
        {
            "function": "distribution",
            "alias": "<alias_name> [optional string]",
            "parameters": {
                "property": "<attribute_name> [string or nested]",
                "num_bins": "<number_of_bins> [int]"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Query Request with bin_thresholds:

{
    "select": [
        {
            "function": "distribution",
            "alias": "<alias_name> [optional string]",
            "parameters": {
                "property": "<attribute_name> [string or nested]",
                "bin_thresholds": "<list_of_floats> [List[int]]"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Query Response:

{
    "query_result": [
        {
            "<function_name/alias_name>": [
                {
                    "lower": "<bin_lower_bound> [float]",
                    "upper": "<bin_upper_bound> [float]",
                    "count": "<bin_count> [float]"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Lower bounds are inclusive while upper bounds are exclusive, so a bucket response like this:

{
    "lower": 30,
    "upper": 50,
    "count": "<bin_count> [float]"
}

would include values such as 30, 40, or 49.999, but not 50.


Sample Request with num_bins:

{
    "select": [
        {
            "function": "distribution",

                "property": "FICO_predicted",
                "num_bins": 50
            }
        }
    ]
}

Sample Response with num_bins:
